Star Student Board! Success!

Sometimes our smallest victories are the most meaningful, aren’t they? Today’s story comes from Aurora, who serves in a St. Paul elementary school on a variety of projects, but this little second grader truly benefits from her tutoring, encouragement and dedication. Star Student Board!

Enjoy!

 

A. is a second grader who struggles a lot to keep up with his class.  He reads at a kindergarten level, cannot spell, and pronounces “tomorrow” as “samara”.  He is hard pressed to sound out words, and when he does, they don’t make sense because his family doesn’t pronounce words properly.  However, with several hours a week of Americorps help from two different tutors, teacher intervention time, and a LOT of encouragement, he recently received a nine out of ten on his spelling test and his work was put up on the star student board!
